| Olympus C-720 Camera I got out my camera today, and it would'nt come on. I put in new battries. It came on fine. I had to re set the date etc. Every thing was fine until I took the first pitcure. Then every thing in the display and the veiw finder was reversed. It was all backwards. I check to see if I had put the battries in wrong, But they wont. I have changed battries again. Still not fixed. Any sugestions? Thanks Clint |

| I'm not really familiar with Olympus cameras, but one thing that almost all recent cameras have is a feature to return it to factory settings. It's normally a button combination that you hold down for a while. Check your manual. If yours doesn't have this, or it doesn't work, the next thing is Olympus tech support. http://support.olympusamerica.com/

| I don't know what to tell you Clint. I have the same camera, but I've never seen that problem. I just played with it and tried to recreate your problem, but I can't. My only suggestion is set it to the p/a/s/m setting and go into those menus. Those are the only menus that look complex enough to "maybe" cause a problem. Else, it sounds like an actual problem with the camera.

| Good deal. At least they gave you no guff about it then. I thought that sounded a bit odd. It's good to know Olympus has a decent tech. support policy then, at least.
